The Declaration and unanimous Resolution of Col. Whalley, and all his Officers and and Souldiers present with their Cullors.

WHereas many scandalous and dangerous Papers have been lately published in print, tending to seduce, and divide the Army, and dissolve the present Government and power thereof; as also to sub­vert the Parliament and Councel of State, in this juncture of time, wherein they are endeavou­ring so necessary a work, as setling the peace of the Nations, securing of trade, by a Fleet at Sea, already by them set out; setling and supplying Garrisons, especially Maritine, for preventing Invasions and Insurrections, taking of Free quarter, establishing (by an equall Leavie) constant pay for the Army, pro­viding effectually for their Arrears, and the speedy transporting of a considerable Army into Ireland, for the reliefe of many thousand of our distressed Brethren and fellow Souldiers, who are ingaged with us in the same quarrell, and (its more then probable) must all perish, if not speedily relieved from hence. Which considered: we cannot conceive that those who contrived & dispersed the aforesaid papers, and endeavour otherwise to make obstructions, and hinder those good transactions before mentioned, (which are so really in­tended, and neer effected by those now in power) to be either friends to us, or the common-wealth; but rather enemies: And we humbly conceive it necessary, that such persons may be discovered and supprest.

And having lately observed, to our great griefe, the disaffections of those to whose lot it fell, to relive poore Ireland, and the secret and malacious insinuations of divers who (under the specious pre­tences of procuring Liberty here; and of the unwarrantablenesse of the Warre there) have by their suggestions, deceived many (even honest men) into a beliefe thereof, and divided them from that Ingagement; thereby retarding the service: And (this we be­lieve) as it is on purpose to promote and advance the distru­ctive designes of the Common Enemy in the intentions of the Master Projectors: So it is in the intentions of the rest of that Fa­ction, against all, or at least against all just and good Government, [Page 4]which we desire from our very souls, may be setled and maintained by this P [...]rl. for the countenancing of those that doe well, and the terrour of those that do evill; and this we dispaire not of, since they have already done so many Acts of Justice, and accomplished so many excellent things in order thereunto, notwithstanding the violent threats and intrusions of a detestable Anarchy; and the seri­ous thoughts of the present miseries of Ireland, and how ill that Ingagement resents with some of those whom the finger of God hath shared thereto, have wrought very much sorrow upon our spirits, and we must needs say, if Providence in the Decision had cast the lot upon us, we should all, or most of us, have imbraced the service, hoping the protection and blessing of the most high God, will be upon the upright endeavours of those that under­take it: And if they should not have help now at last, considering their constant patience and faithfulnesse in that difficult and haz­ardous service, and immediate dependance upon this Nation, es­pecially the Army) it would be the sadning of all honest hearts, and the greatest dishonour and danger that can befall the English State. Wherefore we earnestly beseech our fellow Souldiers, and others who have any love to peace, not to entertain such pernici-Notions, as may set up, or begit any disorder and confusion, which doubtlesse is not of God, and will inevitably involve this too much wasted Re-publique, into greater Warres and Famine, which we already tast of, being miseries we are not long able to endure: and so instead of Freedoms and Liberties, (in our poverty and weaknes) to be all inthralled, and subverted to the furious cruel­ties of the worst enemies viz. Strangers and Forraigness,

And taking notice how Deceivers by their false informations, and substill instigations doe endeavour to perswade us, our Fellow Souldiers, and others to joyn with them in their wicked designes, to desolve the Parliament and Councel of State disorderly; and to cast off the Lord Gen. Lievt. Gen. and the rest of the most faithfull now in Authority, (no necessity leading thereunto.) Wee declare that such traiterous plots and actions, we abhorre and utterly dis­claime, and that we shall continue our due obedience to the Par­liament, our Generall, and Lievt. Gen. and all others now in Au­thority over us, and doe blesse God for the good wee, and this Nation have, and doe enjoy by their pious acts of Justice, and wise [Page 5]mannaging the publique affaires, for the establishment of peace upon good and sure grounds. In the prosecution whereof we are ingaged, and doe engage with them to stand or fall against all at­tempts contrary hereunto whatsoever, and by whomsoever.
